I prefer Latios. Blue is a much cooler color than red, and I can't resist his delicious STAB Draco Meteor, especially when boosted by Choice Specs or Soul Dew. He also has a better Special Attack and still monstrous Special Defense when he has a Soul Dew. However, we can't use Soul Dew Lati@s in OU, so he has to resort to Life Orb or Choice Specs.

I still like Latias, though, and I use her in my sand team. However, Latios is and will always be better.

When I was younger I used to like Latios better because I was weirdly biased on genders and I like the colour blue more than red. However, since Sapphire has always been my Hoenn game, Latias has grew on me a lot ever since I started using her, so now I like Latias better. I also like Latias' design more - she looks similar but I like the friendly look that the designers gave her.

I used to be biased against female Pokemon, because I'm male, but now, I don't care, as long as it's cool.

I had a similar experience. When I first played with the gender thing I didn't know what they meant, so I didn't care. When I found out, i wanted all my pokemon to be male. After that period, I categorized which pokemon that looked like females and males. So if I saw a Butterfree, it would have to be female. Now I don't care. Anyways, overall Latios is better because its BLUE! btw blue is my favorite color...

I'd say Latios. I like blue, and Latios' massive firepower and STAB Draco Meteor is just amazing. But I like Latias, because she seems so much more durable. I can't say from a catching perspective, as I've caught both and like both equally. Competitive wise, I'm a set up sweeper kind of person, so Latias shines there. But I nearly always consider Latios when making teams. Such a hard choice...

I like Latias the most out of the duo, but mostly because it always seemed so elusive. I accidentally defeated the roaming Latias in Sapphire version so I had to trade for one a year later. I guess Latias seemed more special because I had to wait a while in order to finally get one, whereas I had at least three different Latios.

Latios because:
1. I prefer male Pokémon.
2. I like the color blue more than red.
3. Offense > Defense

I don't use "uber" Pokémon, I don't calculate stat values, I don't use cheating devices, I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature.
